Hi,
I almost finalized my PC config as mentioned in the thread here: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2690545/7600-system-config-tower-suggestions.html.
But while comparing other processors found that A4-7300 is almost comparable. Given my needs of home web browsing, movies etc (non-gaming) system, will this processor be fine.
I am planning to buy within next week.

I suspect the A8-7600 may be a touch 'snappier' when compared to the A4-7300 in multi-tasking simply because of the higher level of L2 cache and additional cores. It will not amount to much, however, but you might encounter a bit of a 'stutter' when things really get cranking before the load is 'managed' (watching a movie with your browser open in multiple tabs when a virus scan runs ... as an example)

From a power efficiency standpoint, you will notice little difference. Nor will the *CUs* (graphic cores) between the two make much of a difference.
